Robbie is the most important thing in my life and when you have that kind of perspective, when you go to training, you can enjoy it for what it is. I think he would be extremely proud to think that I have not only got four Olympic medals, but one of them is a gold. That for me was a really tough one to keep going through, but I kind of really that shut away and I didn’t really take the time to grieve until a few years later, because I just buried myself into diving,” he says.
But not only that, he’s at the top of his field and I thought, “Well, if I’m going to be with him, I need to be at the top of mine. Knowing the pressure that comes with being a competitive athlete, Daley says that if his son decided to go into sports, he wouldn’t discourage it. But it's - yeah, it's been something that I've been so passionate about and excited about - being able to pass on that passion that I have and hopefully be able to get other people being mindful with their knitting as well. One of my earliest memories of Daley is of a journalist greeting him with a camera and microphone on live TV, literally on the airport tarmac, fresh off the long-haul flight that carried the Beijing Team GB squad back to Heathrow. Because, along with the emotional medal podium pictures were those of him knitting in the stands, and the memes that followed.His face lights up when he speaks about his husband of five years and, given everything that Daley went through from 2010 to 2012, it sounds like they met at the perfect time. This book is everything I’ve learnt from my time being a knitting and crochet fan and what things I’ve picked up from the countless jumpers, bobble hats, dog jumpers and even trunks I’ve created. Remarkable Treks is a compendium of exhilarating walks from around the planet – some lasting weeks, some lasting just a few days, but all of them set against spectacular backdrops. I felt strangely at peace with it, because I knew what I had to do to be at my best at those Olympic Games, doing whatever visualisation, rehab and supplements to be able to get on the diving board and be there and ready.
When I ask if he was still able to have some semblance of a normal childhood, Daley doesn’t hesitate. Summer 2021 saw Tom compete in the Tokyo Olympics where he won his first Olympic gold medal alongside his diving partner Matty Lee in the 10m synchro event. In an exclusive interview with BBC Breakfast's Sally Nugent, Daley talks about getting that gold medal, his late father, how his son has changed his perspective, and his favourite hobby - knitting. Hearst UK is the trading name of the National Magazine Company Ltd, 30 Panton Street, Leicester Square, London, SW1Y 4AJ. With its fresh, bright design and clear-cut know-how, this clever little book provides all the expert advice and encouragement you need to get growing.Life is so fleeting, and I just don’t necessarily have time to be mad at people and hold on to grudges. Despite the highs and lows he’s been through from childhood to adulthood – all while in the public eye – Daley is remarkably grounded and measured. I was really worried about exploring my sexuality because of being in the public eye and people asking questions. A passionate knitter, he’s since started his own knitting label, Made With Love, which launched with a 15 piece knitting kit collection. Now Tom has created thirty original projects for this book, sharing his joy of knitting and crocheting as a calming and creative outlet alongside his charming, witty personality.
It's also one of those things that sometimes, with knitting, it has this expectation of being for older people and a little bit fuddy-duddy, and you get these things.There were more [out] LGBT athletes in this past Olympics than in all of the Olympics combined previously. I haven’t really made any final decisions yet and I am enjoying a little bit of time away from the pool,” Daley tells TODAY. Tom Daley has been making a name for himself at the Tokyo Olympic Games on and off the diving board.
Winning an Olympic gold medal has been a dream of mine since I was a little kid, and to have that medal put round my neck by Matty was just a total dream come true. Daley said he's had his own share of challenges including losing his father in 2011, the year prior to the 2012 Olympics in London. Tom Daley has regularly spoken about LGBTQ+ rights throughout the years which is why he’s a public figure that everyone can look up to. Tom is one of the kindest, most inspirational and talented people we know and a complete pleasure to work with.But all of these patterns in there I like to think are, like - are things that you'll actually wear, and you'll look forward to getting out there. Although it was me and Matty up on the podium, there are a lot of people behind that medal, and just everything came to that moment of pure elation at having done it after 20 years of training. It just makes me extremely proud to think that all the hard work and sacrifice that he put into my diving career is, I'd say, worth it.
